                    ENGLE HOMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

          Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS

     These statements do not contain all information required by generally
accepted accounting principles that are included in a full set of financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present
fairly the financial position of Engle Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the
Company") at January 31, 1998 and results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period then ended and period ended January 31, 1997.  These unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes contained in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended October 31, 1997.  Results of operations for this period are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     Income per share has been computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.  Such computations are further adjusted for fully
diluted purposes by assuming conversion of the $14,836,000 7% Convertible
Subordinated Notes (the "Convertible Subordinated Notes") and elimination of
related interest incurred during the period, resulting in an increase in net
income after taxes of $164,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1998.

     Engle Homes, Inc. and subsidiaries are engaged principally in construction
and sale of residential homes and land development in Florida; Dallas, Texas;
Denver, Colorado; Raleigh, North Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; Phoenix, Arizona; 
Virginia and Maryland.  Ancillary products and services to its residential
homebuilding include land sales to other builders, origination and sale of
mortgage loans, and title transfer services.  The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries.  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

share to shareholders of record on November 25, 1997, which was paid on
December 17, 1997. 

     On October 17, 1997, the Company announced the early redemption of $15.0
million of its 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003.  On November 18,
1997, the Company redeemed approximately $14.6 million aggregate principal
amount of the debentures.  The Company established a $15.0 million short term
unsecured credit facility to fund this redemption.  During the first quarter 
ending January 31, 1998, $570,000 of the 7% Convertible Subordinated Notes were
converted by the holders into approximately 41,000 shares of Common Stock.

Backlog

     Sales of the Company's homes are generally made pursuant to a standard
contract which requires a down payment of up to 10% of the sales price.  The
contract includes a financing contingency which permits the customer to cancel
in the event mortgage financing at prevailing interest rates (including
financing arranged by the Company) is unobtainable within a specified period,
typically four to six weeks.  The Company includes an undelivered home sale in
its backlog upon execution of the sales contracts and receipt of the down
payment.  Revenue is recognized only upon the closing and delivery of a home.
The Company estimates that the average period between the execution of a
purchase agreement for a home and delivery is approximately six months.  The
following table sets forth the Company's backlog for the periods indicated:

                                        8

     The increase in unit backlog at January 31, 1998 was due to a record 528
new homes sales during the three months ended January 31, 1998.  This represents
a 60% increase in the number of new home sales contracts signed, when compared
with 329 contracts in the quarter ended January 31, 1997.  The Company is
operating in 76 subdivisions at January 31, 1998, compared to 72 subdivisions
at January 31, 1997.  At January 31, 1998, the Company was marketing 21
subdivisions in South Florida; 13 in Central Florida; 8 in West Coast Florida;
9 in Denver, CO; 10 in Dallas, TX; 7 in Virginia and Maryland; 3 in Raleigh,
North Carolina; 4 in Phoenix, Arizona and 1 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Result of Operations:                                                      

Three Months Ended January 31 1998 compared to January 31, 1997.

     The Company's revenues from home sales for the quarter ended
January 31, 1998 decreased $17.7 million (or 18.3%) compared to the same period
in fiscal 1997. The number of homes delivered decreased 19.9% (to 391 from 488)
and the average selling price of homes delivered increased 2.0% (to $203,000
from $199,000).  The decrease of revenues and homes delivered is primarily
attributable to a decreased level of backlog at the beginning of the current
quarter and timing differences related to home closings at certain subdivisions.
Management believes that changes in the average selling price of homes delivered
from period to period are attributable to discrete factors at each of its
subdivisions, including product mix and premium lot availability, and cannot be
predicted for future periods with any degree of certainty.

     The Company's revenues from land sales increased approximately $7.1 million
during the three months ended January 31 1998, as compared to the same period
in fiscal 1997, primarily as a result of an increase in commercial land sales
at Pembroke Falls, a master-planned community in South Florida.

     Cost of home sales decreased $17.0 million (or 20.5%) compared to the
quarter ended January 31, 1997 primarily due to the related decrease in home
sale revenues.  Cost of home sales as a percentage of home sales decreased to 
83.1% from 85.5% as a result of the product mix of homes delivered.
 
     The Company's selling, marketing, general and administrative ("S,G&A")
expenses increased approximately $600,000 (or 6.3%) during the three months
ended January 31, 1998, as compared to the corresponding fiscal 1997 period,
primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses associated with
payroll costs.  S,G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the three
months ended January 31, 1998 increased to 11.2% compared to 9.5%, primarily due
to a decrease in home revenues for the period as compared to the prior year.
   
     Primarily as a result of the extraordinary item (loss on extinguishment of
approximately $15.2 million of the convertible subordinated notes), net income
decreased by $542,000 in the three months ended January 31, 1998 from the
comparable period in fiscal 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's financing needs depend upon its construction volume, asset
turnover and land acquisitions.  The Company has financed and expects to
continue to finance, its working capital needs through funds generated by 
operations and borrowings.  Funds for future land acquisitions and construction
costs are expected to be provided primarily by cash flows from operations and
future borrowing as permitted under the Company's bank credit facilities.



                                     9
At January 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding bank borrowings of $115.9
million under its various revolving lines of credit, and had available
additional borrowings of $9.4 million.  The Company believes that amounts
generated from operations and such additional borrowings will provide adequate
funds to finance its homebuilding activities and meet its debt service
requirements for fiscal year 1998.
     
     The Company has two primary credit agreements (the "Agreements") with
various lending institutions which provided for a combined $130.0 million
collateralized revolving line of credit.  Borrowings under these Agreements bear
interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 2.50% to prime plus .25% at the
Company's election.  Available borrowings under the Agreements are limited to
certain percentages of finished lots, construction costs, land and land under
development.  The Company is currently in discussions with a group of banks to
obtain an unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for working capital and
general corporate purposes.  If obtained, the new facility would be used to
replace all of the Company's existing lines of credit, other than its warehouse
line of credit.

     On October 17, 1997, the Company announced the early redemption of $15.0
million of its 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2003.  On November 18,
1997, the Company redeemed approximately $14.6 million aggregate principal
amount of the debentures.  The Company established a $15.0 million short term
unsecured credit facility to fund this redemption. 

     On February 2, 1998, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$132.1 million from the sale of 2.7 million shares of common stock and $100
million principal amount of 9.25% Senior Notes due 2008.  Proceeds from these
offerings were used to provide for the funding of the remaining balance of the
Convertible Debentures, to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate
purposes.

     Preferred Home Mortgage Company ("PHMC") has a warehouse line of credit in
the amount of $18.0 million which is guaranteed by the Company.  At January 31,
1998, PHMC had outstanding borrowings of $11.8 million pursuant to such credit
line from origination of mortgage loans.  The Company believes that such
credit line is sufficient to meet the current needs of its mortgage company.

     LAND ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION FINANCING.  The Company is continually
exploring opportunities to purchase parcels of land for its homebuilding
operations and is, at any given time, in various stages of proposing, making
offers for, and negotiating the acquisition of various parcels, whether outright
or through options.  During the three months ended January 31, 1998, the Company
increased land inventories approximately $34.8 million to provide land for
continued growth.
                     
     The Company has increased its land development and construction activities
in response to current and anticipated demand and expects to pursue additional
land acquisition and development opportunities in the future.  However, the
Company's ability to undertake significant additional  projects is expected to
depend in part upon the availability of financing on satisfactory terms.  To
date, the Company has not had any significant difficulties in securing
